I get into the same problem for all three systems: gmake all-gdb fails in build/gdb/gnulib This seems to come from the fact that build/gdb/gnulib/Makefile contains a line with MAKE = make so that despite being calls from gmake, it calls BSD style make executable that doesn't know how to handle some GNU specific stuff. Changing the line in build/gdb/gnulib/Makefile to MAKE = gmake is enough to allow me to complete compilation of GDB successfully, but I was wondering if there is not some error somewhere. I tried to do a global configure for which I added an explicit ../src/configure MAKE=gmake but even this wasn't able to get the correct value into build/gdb/gnulib/Makefile Is this an error in the configure script of GDB, or should I specify which make I intent to use differently?
